Abandon Ship! |
| Oh, the heptagenarians got behind the decks |
| While the skeleton crew went through the motions |
| It was only the medication that was keeping them erect |
| Yeh, the devil got the best tunes |
| So god knows what comes next |
| And it’s difficult to think of anything less magic |
| Than the aged in pursuit of the hip |
| At the lifeboat station there’s a mounting panic… |
| They’re going overboard for this one — |
| Abandon ship! |
| Oh, the humanitarians took themselves below |
| While they tried to debate the latest motion; |
| Meanwhile only the medication served to keep them on the go |
| So it’s devil take the hindmost: |
| We sail on the sloop John Doe |
| And it’s difficult to think of anything that’s factual |
| Now we find ourselves in Alzheimer’s grip; |
| So at disembarkation it’s no names, no pack-drill |
| We’re all anonymous on this one — |
| Abandon ship! |
